Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday attacked West Bengal’s Trinamool Congress at a Kolkata rally, saying corrupt leaders should be in jail, not in power. He referred to state minister Chandranath Sinha, jailed in the teacher recruitment scam, while backing a new bill that seeks to remove leaders jailed for over 30 days under serious charges. Modi accused the TMC of blocking Bengal’s development, citing misuse of central funds and rising crimes against women. He urged voters to bring "poribortan" (change) in next year’s elections. TMC leaders hit back, accusing BJP of double standards by pointing to the Narada sting. (PC: X)
